Suzuki presents RYUYO, an incredible version dedicated to the track of the GSX-R1000R ready to upset the balance in the world of sports bikes and to dictate the law between the curbs of all the circuits. To give life to this special version, Hamamatsu's House has researched the best components on the market; must have that make all the fans of speed wink. The choice fell on brand products of absolute value, which made excellence a philosophy of life: Yoshimura for electronics and exhaust, Öhlins for the chassis and Brembo for the brakes. And then Dunlop, Motul, Extreme Components, Bonamici Racing. The result is RYUYO, a motorcycle exclusive in materials, technical solutions and driving sensations. A motorcycle that is destined to become legend, just like the legendary Suzuki test track that gives it its name.
Suzuki has just unveiled its tricked out GSX-R1000R RYUYO track bike – which takes its name from the Japanese brands own test track. To create the RYUYO, Suzuki has joined forces with some of the biggest names in racing, kitting its standard GSX-R1000R out with Yoshimura electronics and an exhaust system, Ohilns chassis and suspension, Brembo brakes, Dunlop rubber– in addition, to a few bits and pieces from Motul, Extreme Components and Bonamici Racing. At the minute, there’s not a mass of information available about the new Suzuki – but from what we’ve been told, the RYUYO will kick out an additional 10bhp on top of the production GSX-R1000R. More specifically, it’ll kick out 212bhp at 12,900rpm, and produce torque of 125Nm at 10,300rpm – while weighing in at 168kg.
Deliveries to Suzuki dealerships of the new GSX-8S will start next week. The wait is over, the street fighter completes the series of launches of Hamamatsu's 2023 novelties, which began with the V-Strom 650 Explorer and continued with the V-Strom 1050 MY23 range and with the adventurous V-Strom 800DE. With the latter, the GSX-8S shares the technical platform, which has as its main element an innovative parallel twin-cylinder engine with 270° crank mechanism with exceptional efficiency.The GSX-8S plays a strategic role for Suzuki, because it enters as an absolute protagonist in what is one of the most important and lively segments of the market, that of mid-engined naked bikes. The GSX-8S is placed halfway between the timeless SV650 and the gritty GSX-S950 and GSX-S1000, with which it shows a certain family feeling in terms of aesthetics.The new street fighter marks an evolution of Hamamatsu's most recent stylistic features and adopts essential superstructures that express dynamism. The pointed top fairing, with overlapping LED headlights, position lights and arrows, together with the 14-litre tank and side scoops, contrasts with the minimalist tail and the short and compact exhaust terminal, to make the bike appear leaning forward and ready to shoot.With their streamlined shapes, the superstructures leave both the mechanics and the frame and seat post structure visible, made with a tubular steel trellis.The light and compact engine is a 776 cm3 parallel twin with DOHC DOHC distribution and four valves per cylinder. The technicians have chosen a configuration that manages to combine a generous throw from low revs and a lot of vivacity in the long run with extraordinary efficiency. Maximum torque is 78 Nm at 6,800 rpm, while peak power is 61 kW (83 hp) at 8,500 rpm, with consumption of 4.2 l/100 km in the WMTC mixed cycle. The bike is also available in a depowered 35 kW (48 hp) version for A2 license holders.

During this month of March, the Suzuki news is arriving rapidly at the official dealership network. After the debut of the V-Strom 1050 MY23 range and V-Strom 650 Explorer in the showrooms, it is now the turn of the adventurous V-Strom 800DE.This bike plays a key role for Suzuki. On the one hand, the V-Strom 800DE is at the heart of the Sport Enduro Tourer family, slotting between the dynamic V-Strom 650 (XT and Explorer) and the new arrivals V-Strom 1050 and V-Strom 1050DE. On the other hand, it marks the market entry of a new platform, also shared with the GSX-8S, a street fighter expected to be on the road in a short time.
